Chapter Four

“Okay”, Dean started, “everyone settle. We all have a beer and seem relaxed so lets get down to business. First, Zane and Clint have reported, we not only have a new colt, but also four puppies to add to our ranks.” Everyone laughed and gave a thumbs up to the animal crew. “Next, sorry Garret and Lucca, but your new cabin has been leased by a government agency that are relocating wolves to the area. Your cabin is closest to their target area and will be occupied by their employee that will study them and make sure they have everything they need to survive there. I’m sure that you will meet them and make them feel welcome to our mountain.”

Garret and Lucca looked at each other. “Guess we’ll be enjoying the hospitality of the lodge through the winter!” said Lucca. Everyone laughed and poked at the guys until it was time for the next report.

Sawyer stood to give his report. “All seems to be going well. The Wellness Center we built in town already has new members, not counting all of us, of course. Remember guys, it’s a great place to work out and stay in shape for the different jobs we have all taken on. Oh and we need more females. Been here several years now and only having ugly mugs to look at makes us all cranky.” Everyone was nodding and agreeing. Some new female flesh around here would be appreciated by all.

“Hey Dean, “Garret spoke up, “when can we expect this new government guy to show up?” Liking the idea even less now that it was sinking in. “Tomorrow or the next day, I’m guessing, be there smiling and friendly Garret. You too Lucca.”

After more reports on bad roads that need repairs and progress on construction, the guys were dismissed and dispersed. Some of the guys had their own places now, but the few that were still lodging, sat around having another beer and listening to county tunes on the radio.
